Zeke was not charged for THAT night's events by the Columbus prosecutor who believed there was an abusive relationship between the two.
But the NFL has different standards which he violated and therefore led to his well-deserved suspension.
From Post #36 (on this thread):
The personal conduct policy (of the NFL)doesn’t require guilt, it requires actions that reflect poorly on the league, its teams or its players. I don’t think anybody that has been suspended with the policy has been convicted of anything, most weren’t even charged. But the initial act brought negative attention and that’s all it takes.
If your estimation of his angelic qualities are correct, why didn't Zeke walk into Federal court and sue the azz off the NFL for loss of wages, etc?
Simply put, he couldn't.
I never said he had angelic qualities. Don’t be butt hurt because someone disagrees with you. The League stated that they have different standards than a civil or criminal prosecution. That means that they can suspend anyone that they want for any reason and that they themselves are the arbiters of deciding on any appeal. Truly a case of the fox guarding the hen house.
If the NFL were to be consistent on their standards, a great many players would be sitting at home during the season.
